[Elecraft] K2: KPA100 Removal

[Don Wilhelm]

  Of course it is Jon, one diode rectifies the forward power and the 
other the reverse power.

BUT - I hope you do not have the KAT100 in line between the KPA100 and 
the external wattmeter when you make that evaluation - if it is, you 
should first put it in CAL mode using the K2 menu.
